Does anything specially attract your attention in this picture? Probably, the similarity of the different flags, belonging to Finland, Denmark, Estonia (this is different), Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Europe (also different) and Åland. I have been asking myself the reason of this, and even asked some locals whitout any success. At the beginning I thought all of them would be based in the Swedish Flag, as all Scandinavia was ruled once under Sweden, but I was wrong.

It seems that all flags are inspired in the Dannebrog, the danish flag, which is considered the oldest flag in the world, with records back to the 14th Century.

Interesting, isn’t it? =)
